What can the off coach do?

Sub for B3 on the bases and have her finish the at bat?
What if no subs available ?
Simple answer to your question: Nothing. Once the pitcher throws a pitch, legal or illegal, to the next batter, no appeal is available and all previous play is complete and legal.

Nothing else happens and the batting order remains the same as it appears on the official line-up card.
